Hi! My name is Yash.

Computers have always been a source of fascination for me since my childhood, and this fascination has only grown stronger with time. As a result, I pursued a career in Bioinformatics, which combines my interests in both biology and computing. I completed my Masters in Bioinformatics from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi in 2020, which provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the field. Prior to this, I completed my Bachelors in Microbiology from the University of Delhi in 2018, which laid the foundation for my interest in biological sciences.
Currently, I am a PhD Scholar under the supervision of Dr. Md. Imtaiyaz Hassan, focusing on leveraging Artificial Intelligence to tackle complex problems in computational biology. My work involves a diverse array of tasks, ranging from data analysis to the creation of AI models that aid in the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents. In addition to my work in the research lab, I am also actively involved in the scientific community, participating in conferences and workshops related to Bioinformatics. I am passionate about using computational tools and techniques to advance our understanding of the biological world, and I am always eager to collaborate with others who share the same vision. Ultimately, my goal is to make meaningful contributions to the field of Computational Biology and to help drive scientific progress in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
Beyond the lab, my fascination with the mysteries of the cosmos, the chronicles of history, and the ever-evolving world of programming keeps my curiosity well-fed. To indulge this curiosity, I’ll be adding a blog to this website mostly for my own satisfaction. After all, what better way to ensure my musings on the universe, history, or a cool new programming concept are preserved for eternity—or at least as long as GitHub keeps the lights on?
Whether it’s trying to decode the latest astronomical phenomena, unearthing a quirky historical event, or exploring an interesting programming challenge, this blog will be my digital playground, a place where I can share what intrigues me. If others find it interesting too, that’s a bonus. But at the very least, I’ll have a collection of posts to revisit whenever I feel like a trip down memory lane—or perhaps, when I’m looking for a good read during a quiet moment.
